History
Originally an afternoon paper published six days a week, the Sentinel moved to Saturday mornings and then added a Sunday edition in the late 1980s. In the late 1990s, the paper adopted a morning format for all seven days.
Before adopting the name The Holland Sentinel, it was called The Holland Evening Sentinel (1928-1977), and before that the Holland Daily Sentinel.
The Sentinel was owned by Morris Communications from 1995 to October 2007, when it was sold to GateHouse Media.
The Lakeshore Press, a publication of the Grand Rapids Press, was its main competitor, but has since shut down operations.
In the mid 1980s, the Sentinel was a satellite publishing site for the Chicago Tribune.
In the early 2000s, printing operations were moved to the Allegan, Michigan, facilities of The Flashes, a weekly advertising only newspaper that Morris Communications had purchased a few years prior.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.”
—Imre Lakatos (1922–1974)
